Manual inspection has been insufficient then. You have:
.text
...
.L124: call caml_call_gc@PLT
.L125: jmp .L123
.section .rodata.cst8,"a",@progbits
.L122: .quad 0x4000000000000000
.type camlSegmenttree__log2_1037,@function
.size camlSegmenttree__log2_1037,.-camlSegmenttree__log2_1037
.text
thus obviously the size can't be constant, as . in the size expression
is in .rodata.cst8 section (in particular .L122+8), while camlSegmenttree__log2_1037 is in .text section.
Thanks, I will apply: http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/file_download.php?file_id=418&type=bug I checked the patch that Xavier applied upstream[1] and it is identical to this one.

Created attachment 488554 [details] Assembly file illustrating the problem Description of problem: I'm trying to build the latest version of coq in Rawhide. The build fails on an ocaml-generated assembly file (attached). The error message is: /tmp/camlasmfec99f.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/camlasmfec99f.s:1023: Error: .size expression with symbol `camlSegmenttree_log2_1037' does not evaluate to a constant file "lib/segmenttree.ml", line 1, characters 0-1: Error: Assembler error, input left in file /tmp/camlasmfec99f.s Manual inspection shows that there is nothing wrong with that symbol. It is declared properly, prior to the reference to it in the .size directive. Also, the same file is processed successfully and without complaint by gas on a Fedora 14 machine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): binutils-2.21.51.0.7-1.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to build vanilla coq-8.3pl1 from the coq web site 2. 3. Actual results: The build fails with the above error message on Rawhide. (I haven't tried F-15 yet to see if the same failure happens there, but will soon.) Expected results: Successful build. Additional info:
